Last week we did my favorite project of the year- the Ugly Christmas Sweater project! The students are tasked with solving multiplication and division word problems on "gift tags". Each correct answer is equal to 2 points. The students then use their points to "shop" for items for their sweaters with the goal of making them as ugly as possible! We also learned to use multiplication to find area in Math last week. In Language Arts, we continued to find non-fiction text features, learn about classification, and learned the prefixes "re" and "un". We started the week of with a special Advent prayer service and continued to learn about Advent in Religion. In Social Studies, we are finishing up our Missouri Geography unit and will move on to Missouri's history.
